You get one but the other is off--it was a so much work to get "equal" likenesses. BTW, I store my paints on a disposal paper palette that fits in one of those Masterson paint boxes. I put the lid on and it goes in the freezer. It takes just a minute for them to thaw. Saves $$oo much paint. When one sheet of palette gets too messy, I pull it off and transfer paint to the clean one. Your studio is so cool!Stephanie Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509283083557327502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-71774240287376115712013-03-15T10:01:54.973-07:002013-03-15T10:01:54.973-07:00As always, this is an awesome painting Suzanne and...As always, this is an awesome painting Suzanne and it's really good to see you back at it.

Beautifu...I swear you make those paintings breathe! Beautiful work.<br /><br />I'm a total slack ass when it comes to storing paint. I let it sit on the palette for days...weeks, then toss it when its dried too much and start again. I use palette paper so not a huge issue. Then again I don't usually have huge globs of paint sitting there unless I'm really covering large areas.<br /><br />A second set of eyes is always a good thing when trying to work out likenesses. Barring that, a mirror behind you in the studio helps too.<br /><br />Speaking of which....your new studio is fab, light and airy. And clean. Mine looks like the hideyhole of a cave dweller...;) Time for a spring clean methinks!<br /><br />Hugs and be well my friend.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-14946416555174567442013-03-13T08:05:19.375-07:002013-03-13T08:05:19.375-07:00That is an amazing painting.

It doesn...Well The painting of Chloe is incredible! It doesn't look to me like a break has made any difference at all! Wow! It really is amazing :0)<br />I keep my mixed oils in an ice cube tray and store them in the freezer (they won't freeze). If it's going to be a long while before I use them, I drop a little linseed oil over the top, without mixing, to help prevent a film forming and then just either mix it in or pour it off when I go back to them. They last for ages that way :0)<br />As for the likeness, well sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes to spot something. My Mum is good at that and she's not an Artist. So the next time someone pops in for a cuppa - ask them. You might be pleasantly surprised at how helpful a non-artist can be. I know it's not Tim, but they might still be able to pick up on something... :0)<br />Oh and I so enjoyed seeing your photo! That studio space looks so inviting, and light and airy... Ooh - is that a Crystal Cook Portrait I see next to the chalk board?

Beautiful!! It's so great to see your new studio too!! I like the chair, the table, and the great light you have there.<br />Here I have great light, but only one window means when it's passed over, it's lamp light only. <br /><br />I refrigerate my egg tempera, but hadn't thought of doing this with oils. Have you ever seen those empty tubes that can be filled with oil or acrylic? Pearl Paint used to carry them; probably still do. I remember learning in an S of I lecture by Marvin Mattelson about how he premixes and tubes all his flesh mixes, etc. and thinking, what a concept! I never knew until then that it was possible to buy custom tubes. <br /><br />Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-51733458438494012952013-03-12T18:47:23.693-07:002013-03-12T18:47:23.693-07:00I keep my paint in the freezer.
